Stead is the new Rossiter if he builds a team as top heavy as Holder squared, Woffinden & Pickering. Also, who's paying their wages?

Thought Woffinden was Oxford bound? With Janowski & Tungate, it's a good top 3 who are not on ridiculous averages.

Looks like Lyon is trying to recreate the Dad's Army format that won the league for Panthers without the undoubted World class that team had in their prime, Iversen aside If Cook is #1 Stars have no chance.

Doyle & Sayfutdinov are two years older & more battered, Bewley & Kurtz are two years more experienced.

So... Kurtz, Zischke, Lidsey Blodorn, Bewley, Vuolas, Mulford?

He won the Simon Stead farewell at Sheffield!

Doyle & Michelsen were on target for a podium finish before they were injured.. not just a top 6.. but Hampel was leading the series (jointly if I remember correctly) when he got injured I the mid 20teens. Doyle & Michelsen deserved places. Madsen should only have missed out IF Sayfutdinov & Laguta were included in whatever representation. Neutral or Polish. I don't mind Kvech young & decent as a spoiler, but Huckenbeck is a joke. I've never liked Janowski but I'd rather have him in the series than either of them. Czechia,& German GP's have been on the calendar for years without a permanent GP rider from either nation. They experimented in 2024 with one from both, neither stepped up. No need to continue with it.

Is is still get there early to get seat?

Why would it be? Teams need 43 points to win a meeting over 14 heats which is how average are set. The only reason to reduce that limit of a new team is in the league. Currently there is no certainty that Brummies will run,& unlikely any other team will join the league.

That is close to that which I suspected. Until I saw how inflated Kurtz average is. Zischke was never in though. Big injury, will need time to get back to speed

Forecasts are unreliable especially for more than a day in advance. Agreed, but for other reasons. Is it on Eurosport?9

So R/R most of the year. Harris at Owlerton makes sense. Don't think Aces can retain Bewley & Kurtz on those averages. Rew should be the first name on the Witches team sheet Heat leader waiting to happen.

I suspect they may need to win a few. Can't see Mulford troubling the Lions & Voulas may never have been to Beaumont Park before. However Blodorn was decent there when I saw him. Fricke could well go unbeaten, but the Aces top 3 & Iversen should take points off the rest of the Lions.

It was an annual thing at Dudley Wood! 89 - Gundersen,& Pedersen. 90 - Pedersen & Cross. A young Hancock also started the season on fire at reserve but was out for a stint. 92 - Pedersen.

I'm not sure there is a finer watch in Speedway than Bewley in full flight around the NSS, I just wish he'd give is opponents more of a lead. Blodorn ht 8, Kurtz 13 & 15 and Iversen ht 14 showed you don't HAVE to ride it Bewley style to make it work. No. Eurosport probably have something else lined up next Monday. It's not the worlds best stadium, or track. Go to Torun & Wroclaw. Not sure I've ever seen Lawson ride well at the NSS. Becker in SoN was brilliant, Masters has done a job in the past for Wolves but those meetings were usually midday on BHM's. Put up a marque 🙂 Lidsey I've not seen do much at Beaumont Park, Bewley & Kurtz couldn't get near Fricke either. Blodorn was good, NKI I can't comment on. Voulas will never have been there before. I think he has brought his Ekstraliga equipment over and more than anything I think he has more confidence in it which has helped allot.

And then what fixtures do they make money from after the Champions are decided? Speedway clubs can only operate 8 months of the year.

Leicester were the form team at the end of the season. The forecast is pretty wet in Leicester on Thursday so vice versa.

No one was saying the rain affecting track conditions were the Aces favour as the Lions held the lead to 8 points for the middle part of the meeting.

Who do Lions put in heat 15? Hagan & Masters?

Wow... Didn't think they'd be able to do that against Fricke & Douglas.

Off gates 2 & 4?

It's about confidence & bravery, the Aces riders know the track better With the weather affecting the track it's heavier out there than usual. I remember at the SoN semi final 2 the only riders who would really wide into the deep stuff were Lindgren & the French grass trackers. You could ask why didn't Kurtz go wide I the last heat?

Don't be silly. Belle Vue are not getting near 60 points.

Ekstraliga averages . Laguta 3rd, Bewley 15th, Janowski 19th

Because he has nothing better to do than continuously trying to provoke responses from other posters.
